TP is always decided on PA
I like placing them on Round numbers 5250 52 5150 50
When I am confident I move my SL to hold some profits and let the wild beast to run its course.Every good trader knows that one can't predict exact TP
You must be in tune with the market.If momentum for short is gone then by all means get out!
Problem with lot of "systems" they make trading mechanical.Markets don't act mechanical therefore most of those system fail in the long run.

Uk News event at 0930am London may shake it up a bit - daily shows where the support was at the low yesterday - ie at the previous swing hi - prev res became support.

Event Risk: Uk Q2 GDP prelim tomorrow at 0930am London: This data release has the potential to move this (and other) markets on the knee jerk (+.) +0.6% the forecast - twice that of the Q1 number ...so, if that or above - most likely knee-jerk reaction (+?) is £ strength...but if the number disappoints - ie say 0.3% or below - then likely may see some £ weakness on the knee-jerk (+?) All the surveys recently have been broadly positive so it points to a number at least stronger than Q1's...but if the number comes in above Q1 but below forecast...well...

Hmmm, is this the pump before the GDP dump, or is she just going to sail on through?

GPBUSD buy / EURGBP sell holding for UK GDP


UK GDP Figures out today a little bird told me they are expecting a higher than forecast reading. Forecast 0.6% but I heard 0.7% or higher. GBP is already rallying so I think it is pretty much a foregone conclusion. So I’m expecting a big bullish move from GBP @ 9:30 UK Time which will be one hell of a ride!

I will be out of everything hopefully before 13:30 as we have US Durable Goods. We have had mixed data from the US so I don’t want to lose any gains from the GBP trades earlier. I will re-enter after the moves when things settle.

Here’s my GBP chart from last night. Note the green box, I do this sometimes to identify ranges. The centre black line is about the middle of the box it did false break down but rallied again this morning.

Ya It did failed to break 1.54 thrice.. but the channel lows are still intact.. a fourth rejection around 1.54 could be a sell ..

GDP Data in 30 mins will give it a pull lower if they are bad, but ofcourse after hitting SLs above 1.54 most prolly ..
